Why is it masculine?
Delitos is masculine because it derives from the Latin "delictum" (neuter noun meaning "offense" or "misdeed"), and when Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" were adopted into Spanish, they typically became masculine nouns ending in "-o." This pattern is seen across many Spanish words borrowed from Latin, where the neuter gender was essentially lost and replaced with the masculine.
